Orbital Bullet is a fast paced 360° action-platformer with rogue-lite elements, where all actions take place in a circular pattern.

Fight your way through a variety of procedural planets and use body modifications, crafting and heavy weaponry. Kill. Die. Modify.

Orbital Bullet is now available through Steam Early Access for £10.29 / €12.99

The Harvest Season Update introduces a slew of new content “Joule” just love! A gorgeous (and deadly) new planet to explore, four new weapons, five new upgrades, four new skills, and some bangin’ new tunes to keep you charged up and ready to dish out some electrified death!

Key Features of the Harvest Season Update Include:

  • New Weapons: The Charged Laser, Burstgun, Cannonball, and Bouncing Shotgun
  • New Upgrades: Melee Swing, Long Shot, Hovering, Critical Ranged Attack, and Drone Armor
  • New Class Skills: The Auto Turret, Deadly Dodge, Rocketeer Jetpack, and Boosted Weapon Switch
  • New Enemy Types: Plenty of new ‘shocking’ enemies to battle sure to leave players ec-”static” with glory!

While it might look like a great place to host a Tron-themed rave, the planet Talos is anything but a fun place to party. Even the sadistic goons at Dread Corp. won’t venture out without protective suits, armor, and robotic drones. However, it’s an extremely important planet for any evil corporation thanks to the Harvest Fields. The never-ending lightning storms provide a near-endless supply of energy — which is useful for powering the Neuropods, which Dread Corp. installs in the strongest hosts to create and control new elite soldiers.

Luckily, players won’t have to head in ill-equipped, thanks to a whole bunch of new weapons, skills, and upgrades. Being on a planet full of electricity is super handy for charging these new firearms, and the Charged Laser, Burstgun, Cannonball, and Bouncing Shotgun can all be powered up by holding the trigger button — making for a larger, messier, and more powerful destructive force!

’s nice to have a better gun, but sometimes combat requires a more tactical approach. The Harvest Season Update comes with five new upgrades, including the distance-increasing Long Shot, the Melee Swing that can stun enemies up close, a damage-reducing swarm of drones, a critical chance increaser, and a hover ability.
 
But wait, there's more! Four new class skills are also available to players with the new update. The Auto Turret drops a tower that shoots plasma projectiles horizontally at enemies. The Rocketeer Jetpack allows players to charge up a homing missile that seeks out enemies in close range. The Boosted Weapon Switch encourages diversity in death-dealing by providing a temporary power boost which increases weapon damage every time the weapon is changed. Finally, the Deadly Dodge skill allows players to simultaneously avoid an enemy attack and give ‘em what for with a slash of the knife!

On theme with the game’s diverse biome-based environments, Assemble Entertainment has teamed up with Ocean Cleanup — a non-profit foundation leading the world’s largest coordinated ocean cleanup effort — to offer a special Save The World Edition on Steam for £18.99 /€ 22.00 , which includes the official game soundtrack and a 10% donation to the cause.

Key Features:

  • 360° Combat: Shoot around the world! Make the most satisfying long-range curved snipes you have ever done or blast and shred enemies with a load of your hyper shotgun.
  • Automatic Transitions: You cleared all enemies on the floor? Get automatically launched straight back into the action and keep shooting enemies.
  • Dynamic skill tree: Build your own skill tree, make clever decisions to empower skills and reach new power spikes while the tree changes every time you play.
  • Mixed worlds: Handcrafted and challenge-oriented levels that have underlying procedural system to guarantee a good experience while also creating a lot of variety and secrets for you to discover.

Orbital Bullet is coming to PC (Steam) in Spring 2021.
